porting guide from old to new beamer export?

porting guide from old to new beamer export?

Dear All,

I have again tried (unsuccessfully in the time I was able to spend on
this) to switch to a newer version of org (tried ELPA as well as
8.2.4). The obstacle is always the beamer export. I have consulted the
documentation online, but by following the instructions there the
generated LaTeX does not use the frame environment at all. I did set
H:1, but no frames...

I would imagine I am not the only person struggling with this.

If someone knowledgeable about the two beamer exports could maybe put
together a "porting guide" that would really be great...

Thanks in advance,

Marko

Which documentation did you look at?  The manual is very complete, and
if you want something more along the lines of a tutorial, see the
articles listed on this page:

  http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/beamer/index.html

If you have specific questions, please feel free to ask.

Hope this helps,

Is it possible to get something like the CambridgeUS colortheme via the
org-export of beamer? I do not succeed to do it, it is always the same
theme.

Best wishes

#+BEAMER_THEME: CambridgeUS

If that doesn't work, you should post a minimal working example which
illustrates the problem.

Cheers,

Most of the standard stuff is quite extensively documented.  E.g. see
these:

- Manual: (info "(org) Beamer specific export settings")
  http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-specific-export-settings.html#Beamer-specific-export-settings
- Worg: http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/beamer/ox-beamer.html#config

I must say to the list that the code that solves my problem is given in
Eric Fraga's tutorial:

#+latex_header:
\mode<beamer>{\usetheme{CambridgeUS}\usepackage{beamer_udl_theme}}

where the last \usepackage refers to a personal customization of
CambridgeUS theme.

Now I meet a new problem : what is the org-mode code to export this Latex
code that customizes the frame of the title page? :

\begin{frame}
\titlepage
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[height=1cm,width=1cm]{cnrs_noir}~~
\includegraphics[height=1cm,width=1cm]{logo}~
\includegraphics[height=1cm,width=1cm]{logo-udl}
\end{center}
\end{frame}

Best wishes

Jo.

If using the BEAMER_THEME keyword option does not work for you, please
submit a bug report with a minimal working example demonstrating the
bug.

I'm glad my tutorial helped but I am surprised you needed to do
this.  Can you please post a minimal example that fails when using the
"#+beamer_theme:" construct as suggested by Loris above?  This
definitely works for me.

Also, what version of org?  (M-x org-version RET)

For customisation of the title page, I tend to use the #+date: header
and put whatever LaTeX I want there.  For instance, for a conference I
am presenting at next week, I have done:

#+begin_src org
  ,#+date: 8 September 2015 @@latex:\\@@ Carbon dioxide utilisation @@latex:\\@@ Faraday Discussions
#+end_src

You could easily put your graphics within a @@latex:...@@ construct in
the DATE header.

HTH,
eric

Thanks for the link. I had used all of the documentation that are referenced
on that page.

I have uploaded a typical file with slides to http://pastebin.com/L2ss0hXG
and http://pastebin.com/D61eSkDq.

When I publish this to PDF with the new exporter the LaTeX file that is
generated does not use any frames http://pastebin.com/8jN6XeuE

Best regards

Marko

I think you are doing one of two things wrong.  Either your
org-latex-classes is incorrectly setup, or you are simply exporting to
latex instead of beamer (C-c C-e l b).  E.g. I get the following as the
first frame:

  \begin{frame}[label={sec:orgheadline1}]{linear search}
   %% stuff
  \end{frame}

My org-latex-classes has an entry like this:

 ("beamer" "\\documentclass[presentation]{beamer}"
  ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
  ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
  ("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}"))

Does yours?

Thanks, that helps a lot!

I did not have an option to export to beamer. I wasn't aware that I had to
require ox-beamer explicitly.

Now I notice that the new exporter makes frame titles like this

\begin{frame}[label=sec-8]{proving \hoareTriple{V}\{\(\textmath{merge}\)\}\{P\}}

where the old one generated this

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{proving \hoareTriple{V}{\(\textmath{merge}\)}{P}}
\label{sec-8}

The new exporter escaped some { and } that should not be escaped.

Would you also have a hint to solve that?

Thanks,

Marko

The new exporter tries to preserve special characters whenever it
doesn't recognise a latex snippet.  To ensure they are not escaped as
special characters, you should use export snippets.  Try:

  @@latex:\hoareTriple{V}{@@\(\textmath{merge}\)@@latex:}{P}@@

See the help string for org-export-snippet-translation-alist.

Hope this helps,

Yes!! It does help a lot! Thank you very much.
